I was just on a meeting and when I tried to turn my camera on, the image was distorted and upside down. I had to restart my computer to correct it. Is this an issue other people have experienced?

    Dear @Ana M. Oancea,

    Good day! Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    We apologize for any inconvenience you may encounter when using our services/ products. To help you with the issue, we need more specific information from you:

    • What devices are you using while having the issue?
    • Could you please provide us the vision of your Mac devices and the version of Teams you are using?

    In the meantime, kindly try these following steps:

    Troubleshooting Camera Issues on Mac for Teams

    Check App Permissions

    Make sure Microsoft Teams has permission to access your camera:

    • Go to System Settings > Security & Privacy
    • Under Privacy, select Camera
    • Ensure Microsoft Teams (work or school) is checked

    Adjusting Camera Settings in Teams on Mac

    Click your profile picture (top right) > Settings

    • Go to Devices
    • Under the Camera section, select your preferred camera from the dropdown
    • Choose Open Camera Settings (if available)
    • Look for options like:
    • Automatically adjust camera controls
    • Adjust brightness
    • Soft focus
    • Green screen
      • Preview video feed

    Note: If your camera feed appears upside down and no rotation option is available within Microsoft Teams, it may be necessary to use a virtual camera application - such as OBS Studio or Snap Camera - to adjust the orientation before the video is transmitted to Teams.
